It has been almost two years to the day since I’ve posted to this blog. I’m not quite sure why. I just did not seem to be able to muster my thoughts for posting. Perhaps I grew weary of my own words and found satisfaction enough with the ‘picture frame’ exchange of facebook sharing. But now …. everything has changed. Nothing will ever be the same. There is cause for a rebaseline.
Just 4 weeks ago, on Friday, October 17, 2014, my 19 year old son Micah passed away. He took his own life.
I intend to share some of my journey here on this blog as I walk through the grief and the redefinition of living life in this new paradigm. My hope and prayer is that doing so may be part of my own healing and in that … to help me to somehow be an instrument of healing and encouragement to those closest to me. I love them so much. I so want to love them well. I am desperately committed to that.
Micah my son …I miss you so much.
